One thing I like about command-line options is that you can either specify them "automatically" via a shell alias or manually. Having an option be an environment variable instead of a command-line option denies the user that choice (besides doing something like `export option=a; command; export option=b`). I do wish the concept of aliasing were a bit more general. It'd be nice to be able to have something like it in dmenu without having to resort to wrapper scripts.
